Brain Network Dynamics Meeting 2024
Join us for the inaugural Brain Network Dynamics Meeting (BraiNDy 2024) at Ashoka University from December 14-15, 2024. This annual event aims to foster the exchange of ideas and collaboration in the emerging field of brain dynamics, which encompasses dynamical systems, neuroscience, and related topics, utilizing both theoretical and empirical approaches.
Hosted at one of India's leading liberal arts and sciences universities, BraiNDy 2024 offers a unique interdisciplinary academic environment that is perfectly suited to the meeting's focus. The event will provide an informal setting, encouraging close interaction among researchers.
We also welcome a limited number of participants who can register to attend and present their work in poster sessions. This is an excellent opportunity for young researchers from various disciplines interested in brain dynamics to engage with established experts, share ideas, and explore potential collaborations.

Registration
We have a limited number of participant slots for the event, allowing selected attendees to present their work in poster sessions and engage with speakers and fellow participants, which is the primary focus of our meeting.
The registration fee is INR 1000 or €12/$12 for students, postdocs, independent researchers and INR 2000 or €24/$24 for faculty members. This fee covers meals during the event, including the banquet dinner, and shuttle service to and from the Jahangirpuri metro station.
Participants can either arrange their own accommodation or opt for limited accommodation at the IIT Delhi guest house in Sonipat (for the nights of 13th and 14th). Shuttle service will be provided between the guest house and the meeting venue. Accommodation at the guest house is in double-sharing rooms, with a charge of ₹1400 per person, per night.
Please indicate your accommodation preference when filling out the registration form. Upon selection (on a rolling basis, with a final submission date of October 15), you will receive a barcode to submit your registration and accommodation fees (if applicable).
No Discrimination and Accessibility Policy
We follow a strict no-discrimination policy for all participants at the event. Our aim is to create an inclusive and welcoming environment for everyone. Most areas of the Ashoka University venue are wheelchair accessible.
